  Hiya,

  I hope I'm not overstepping the rules here by asking this. Does anyone know where "John May" is these days? A bit before my time but he was part of "the great apostasy" in Ireland during the early 80s. An elder in my cong made a comment about him recently so I just thought I'd ask in case anyone knows anything about him.

  Thanks,

  Am

  I'm Irish at least my grandparents were. But I can only answer questions regarding beer or alcohol.

  There were a couple of special talks floating around on cassette tapes a while back. I think it was John May and how his dad put up with abuse from his mom for going to meetings. Am I correct? I remember it being a very moving talk even though the sound quality was poor. There was another one about the last days of Christ on earth (not sure if that one was by John) that was very moving, brought you to tears.

  Are there any Irish JW outreach ministries? Can you give me more details? I haven't come across any.

  Thanks!

  Hi Tweetie,

  My hubby found an MP3 version of the tape on here: http://freeminds.org/mp3.htm

  All is can say is "WOW!" I've just finished listening to it and feel like someone's punched me in the gut! Very interesting stuff and what's amazing to me is some of the names he mentions. All the Irish "higher ups" know exactly what happened with Ray and value conformity over truth, which in turn seemed to spark off the Irish "apostacy". And yet those ones are still up there, preparing and delivering talks at the assembly this very weekend. Sick on so many levels....

  I hope I can use some of this info to help my family who are stil caught up in the cult.
